“Where to?” Luke’s mother had asked, looking at Claire with her smile still on.“Alpha Luke said she should begin her training today,” Claire replied, “So, I am taking her to the training room, mother.”Eleanor simply stood there, not saying a single word and silently praying to the moon goddess that her heart keeps calm.“Can I take over from you at the moment?” She asked Claire. “I would take her to her training.”It took every nerve in Eleanor’s body to stop her from bursting into their conversation and beg Claire not to leave her alone with Luke’s mother. Claire nodded as she stepped back into the room. “Yes mother,” she replied.“Lovely,” Luke’s mother replied as she stretched her hands forward to guide Eleanor. “After you.”Eleanor stepped out of the room as Luke’s mother shut the door behind her. They had begun to walk to the other door when Luke’s mother said, “You do not need to be afraid, I am not here to scold you.” She chuckled. “You are going to burst my ears with how lo
Luke had woken up thinking about Eleanor and how she had left his office the night before with little to nothing to say. He didn’t care – he assured himself, but he found himself constantly thinking about her and his wolf – Leon, wasn’t helping at all.‘How about being honest about your feelings and nice to her’, Leon suddenly said, earning an eye roll from Luke. ‘I miss being in her presence’, he whined.“I have work to do, so do not bother me with your whines,” Luke replied, trying to focus on the word load he had in front of him. ‘Do you not wonder how well she’s getting along? How is her training going? What if she’s bruised?’Luke felt his heart begin to rave at the thought of being bruised, he felt his anger rising. He sure was going to get mad at her coach if she was bruised in anyway. He tried to keep on working, but soon found himself shooting off his chair. He groaned to himself as he walked out of his office in search of Eleanor.Meanwhile, Eleanor was done with her traini
Eleanor was lying on her bed, spread out as she stared at the ceiling. The time she had spent with Luke wasn’t only tormenting, but also fun – she hated to admit. She didn’t seem so relaxed, but she loved how he asked about her welfare and how well she was settling in the pack house. She was so close to locking her hands with his, she had to use the last of her will to get to her room without making any move. Lenny was already attracted to Luke, or she didn’t know if it was his wolf she was attracted to. Lenny kept trying to reach out to him, but she knew she couldn’t let that happen.‘They train you here’, Lenny told her. ‘I do not see the sense in you leaving. They feed you. Promise to give you all the information you need for your revenge. And most of all, your mate is here. Your one true love. Everything is here for you’.“No, for you,” Eleanor replied calmly, shutting her eyes as she let her thoughts wander to her family. “There is a lot of distraction her, and I do not want to l
Eleanor’s sight began to double as she tried to keep her pace running, hoping that in no time at all, maybe at the verge of death she was going to escape the territory she had slipped into to try to steal food or water to drink. She had tried to wolf out on multiple occasions, but she was way too starved and weak to be able to.After managing to stay both alive and far enough from the guards that had been chasing her, Eleanor saw the boundary to the territory she was in, far ahead. She was happy that she soon was going to get out and find a place to rest before she hunted for somewhere else to steal food from. She kept drawing closer to the boundary, a faint smile forming on her lips as she stretched her hands forward. But, to her surprise, she noticed she wasn’t drawing closer to the boundary anymore. All she felt was a rush of wind, before she was met with pitch black.***“Do you not find it abnormal that the alpha doesn’t have a mate yet?” one elder said to another, while they wer
Eleanor had lost all hope of finding a mate. She had only clocked 18, when her family pack was attacked by rogues. The attack wiped them out, leaving only her and that was because her mother had hidden her when the attack had happened. When she came out of where she had been hiding, she saw that everyone, her boyfriend at that time and all her friends had been killed. Eleanor had been fully convinced that her boyfriend was going to be her mate, so when she had seen his body lying lifeless on the floor, she had come to the conclusion that she was never going to have a mate for the rest of her life.She had considered letting her life go on many grounds, but the face her mom had when the attacked happened and she was hiding her, kept her going. She was fully convinced that her mom had kept her safe for a reason, which made her owe her life to her mom. She had to live to take revenge.Luke couldn’t help frowning as he stared down at her. It was such a foreign feeling to him, that made hi
Eleanor had been in her cell for a while, wondering why the man who she felt so pulled to had walked out in the middle of interrogating her. She wasn’t sure, but she was pretty convinced that the man was the Alpha of the pack. She hated how he made her feel, as she was certain he was going to distract her from her goal. But he was hot, she couldn’t deny. He definitely stood above six feet, she giggled to herself about that. He was dark, and had a chin filled with beards that connected to his hair. His skin glowed, that even in the dimly lit room, she was about to ask him for his skincare routine.Eleanor leaned on the iron bars of her cell, listening to her stomach rumble and life sing sad melodies before her eyes, while she tried to get her mind off the attractive man that she felt so in love with. She didn’t even know him, but she cared not.“Please comply,” one of the guards who had been standing in front of her cell told her as he unlocked her cell, causing Eleanor’s eyes to almos
The day sky had darkened, and Eleanor felt lonely in her room. Her help had left her a while ago, leaving her with a red button, telling her to press it whenever she needed her help.Still conflicted by what was going on, Eleanor sat by her window, watching children play around a bonfire, while their mothers watched them. She couldn’t help flashing back to when she still had her pack. She remembered how she would sit with her friends not far from a bonfire, while she cuddled in the laps of her boyfriend and they all talked for a long time, not getting tired of one another. She also remembered how the children also played by a bonfire, while parents watched their children to ensure they didn’t get too close to the fire. There was also a time she and her friend would go for fun runs at night, laughing at their endless jokes and skinny dipping.Eleanor felt her eyes water, itching at them in an attempt to send the tears running back. But, the tears kept flowing endlessly, causing her to
Claire was the person Eleanor woke up to. She was woken by the little movements she was making around the room. Eleanor wasn’t exactly a light sleeper, but always been on edge in the forest made her become one, she was easily woken up by the tiniest of sound, so she was shocked that that she didn’t wake up simply by Claire opening the door. “Good morning,” she said quietly, almost silent.“Oh my,” Claire said with wide eyes, as she paused mid dishes she was carrying, hanging in the air – a bit bent over the table, the tray of the plates in her hands. “Did I wake you up? I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to.” She dropped the plates back on the table as she rushed to Eleanor.Eleanor felt weird. Being treated so nice and with some sort of respect freaked her out. She has Ben treated as nothing but trash since she lost her pack and had been moving about alone. She shook her head as she replied, “No, it is absolutely fine. It is time to be up anyways.”Claire simply nodded, as she walked back
